Injuries Caused by Anesthetic Error

Anesthesiologists are responsible for making sure that dosages are correct given patients’ weight, age and medical history. Their primary objective is to ensure that the patient is not awake or too sedated to lose organ function. When an anesthesiologist makes an error, the consequences can be catastrophic. To prevent injury, the doctor must properly intubate and monitor the patient throughout surgery. They must also communicate with other nurses and doctors to prevent complications. Our firm will thoroughly investigate your case and work with experts to determine if negligence was a cause of injury or death.
